False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

The meeting dispersed.

Lu Xiufu, who received the order and was about to go to Mongolia to seek peace, was very worried, so he had to find his friend Deng Guangjian, who was the Minister of Rites at the time, to express his sadness.

"Now that all the princes in the court have no intention of fighting, they are all about begging for peace. What do you think I should do?!"

Lu Xiufu, as one of the few main militants in the DPRK, mentioned this matter with a dissatisfied tone.

He knew very well that Mongolia was a bad wolf.

Now that the evil wolf has broken through the fence and entered the gate, he naturally wants to eat people.

On the other hand, the Southern Song Dynasty court, as the owner of the house, thought that it could cut the meat to feed the wolves and survive.

In Lu Xiufu's view, if he could not defeat the Mongolian army's offensive, the peace effort would definitely not succeed.

Therefore, he did not hold out much hope for this trip to Mongolia.

Deng Guangjian sighed after hearing his friend's complaints.

How could he not know these things?

Nowadays, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are thinking more about how to surrender and save their lives when the Mongolian army arrives in Lin'an.

How can you still dare to fight?

Just say that Deng Guangjian had the intention to die for his country?

Deng Guangjian thought of the whole family and was speechless.

certainly.

Regent Xie Daoqing never thought of betting on peace.

Jia Sidao finally returned to Lin'an from Yangzhou under several imperial edicts.

The prime minister thought that since there was no one in the government at the moment, he would still have a chance to make a comeback.

But he didn't want to be held accountable by his past political opponents for the failure of the Dingjiazhou battle.

Furthermore, Chen Yizhong, the newly appointed Prime Minister of the Left, asked Gongzong of the Song Dynasty to kill Jia Sidao to thank the world.

There were countless memorials similar to the impeachment of Jia Sidao.

In the end, it was Xie Daoqing, the Queen Mother, who came forward. With Jia Sidao's diligence in serving the emperors of three dynasties, how could he be punished for the sins of one dynasty?

On the grounds that killing civil servants was not in compliance with the etiquette and laws of the dynasty, Jia Sidao was demoted to Gaozhou regiment envoy and took office at a later date.

Go round and round.

Jia Sidao, who stepped on the accelerator for the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, survived in the end.

but.

On his way to take office as the training envoy of the Gaozhou regiment, Jia Sidao was killed by the escorting county lieutenant Zheng Huchen. He deserved it.

When the news of Jia Sidao's death came back, countless people who had been harmed applauded.

However.

What the Southern Song Dynasty court did these days did not improve the situation it faced at all.

As for Lu Xiufu and others who had high hopes from the Southern Song Dynasty and went to beg for peace, they heard some different news.

"You mean, a general named Lin Chen led an army to attack the Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan's army, killed him and cut off the Mongolian army's food routes, and now has 300,000 Mongolian main forces trapped on the east coast of Dingjiazhou?"

When Lu Xiufu heard the news from the soldiers in front of him, his eyes widened and he couldn't believe it at all.

On the contrary, this group of defeated soldiers from the Southern Song Dynasty were submissive in front of this court official and only dared to nod in agreement.

According to what this defeated army said.

General Lin was gathering the defeated troops led by Jia Sidao, intending to eat the main force of the encircled Mongolian army.

They went to join General Lin.

Hearing this, Lu Xiufu was overjoyed!

If this is really the case, then the imperial court can still be saved!

This Lin Chen, General Lin, is really the pillar of the country who is holding the building back from collapse!

"Take me to see that General Lin!" Lu Xiufu was very anxious.

As for the original plan to beg for peace, it was forgotten.

Then there's Lin Chen.

He was not idle during this time.

Lin Chen, who had made two preparations, on the one hand recruited Lu Wenhuan's old troops, and on the other hand gathered the defeated troops of the Southern Song Dynasty.

You know, Jia Sidao brought as many as 200,000 troops from the Southern Song Dynasty to Ding Jiazhou.

In addition to the 60,000 naval troops who had fled, there were still a large number of broken troops scattered.

Therefore, when he raised his arms and called for help, in just a few days, he gathered more than 40,000 people.

Lin Chen put all these people under the control of Wei Qing.

Although the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty was impressive, they were powerful enough to gather together.

As a result, Lin Chen's troops expanded rapidly and were about to break through the one hundred thousand mark.

"it's time."

Lin Chen looked at the message from Shen Lian and other Jin Yiwei who were lurking in the Mongolian army.

Yes, during this period, the Mongolian army, which was short of food, had begun to slaughter horses to satisfy their hunger.

certainly.

It's not that there are no Mongolian generals who want to break out and run away.

But with the two brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun each leading a navy fleet to block the river and patrolling along the river, there was no way to escape!

Or, continue to march into the hinterland of the Southern Song Dynasty and plunder places to replenish food and grass.

But no one in the Mongolian army dared to make this decision.

In particular, some Mongolian generals had different thoughts when they learned that Kublai Khan was dead.

There were also many Mongolian nobles who abandoned the army and tried to return to the north.

Most of these Mongolian nobles were Kublai Khan's cronies.

They knew that their status and power benefited from Kublai Khan's backer, and they needed to make early preparations.

If the new Great Khan takes office, he will definitely attack them.

You know, the internal battles among the grassland tribes are even more bloody.

The departure of some Mongolian nobles one after another caused the already chaotic Mongolian army to completely lose its footing.

Seeing this scene, those Lu Wenhuan's old men who were watching suddenly became suspicious.

They knew very well that if they continued to resist stubbornly, they might be finished with the Mongolian army!

"Eldest brother, Master said he doesn't want to see you this month~" Xiao Mie said to Lin Chen seriously while eating pastry.

When Lin Chen heard this, he couldn't help but hold his forehead.

He had already expected this.

After all, Lu Wenhuan and Guo Xiang Guofu had a blood feud.

Although Lin Chen explained that Lu Wenhuan was still useful at the moment and it would be okay to kill him later, his daughter's family's thoughts were not easy to deal with.

Quite true.

Lin Chen glanced at Guo Fu, who was wearing men's clothing as a bodyguard inside the tent, and felt a headache growing more and more.

Guo Fu didn't notice Lin Chen's complicated eyes.

But when he looked at Lin Chen, his eyes were still full of disbelief.

When she heard Lin Chen talk about his plan, it seemed like a fantasy.

But when Kublai Khan escaped and the main force of the Mongolian army was stuck in the quagmire, Guo Fu finally realized what was going on.

Lin Chen didn't joke with her!

That is to say...!

Guo Fu suddenly couldn't calm down when she thought that the next step in Lin Chen's plan was to replace the Southern Song Dynasty.

To say it, in this feudal dynasty where the king of heaven and earth is the master.

The people who had the least respect for the Emperor Zhao were Guo Fu and other martial arts heroes who had been tricked by the Southern Song Dynasty court many times.

As for Lu Wenhuan.

Guo Fu should be more open-minded.

If this person was useful to Lin Chen, it would be okay to spare his life.

As long as this sworn brother can really march north, drive out the Tatars, and rebuild China as he said!

Lin Chen looked at Guo Fu's lost look, guessing what she was thinking, and at the same time rubbed Xiao Mie's face.

This made the little girl hold her mouth and became very unhappy.

But for the sake of pastries, Xiao Mie couldn’t bear it!

Just at this time.

A guard came to report that there were officials from the Southern Song Dynasty who wanted to see Lin Chen.

"oh?"

Lin Chen's eyes flashed when he heard the report from the personal guards and learned that the Southern Song Dynasty official called himself Lu Xiufu.

He really wanted to meet this person who left a proud and clear name in history.
